Google began its Thanksgiving celebrations early this year by putting up a holiday-themed Google Doodle on Tuesday afternoon.

The Doodle features a child-like drawing of a turkey whose feathers and wings move when your cursor runs over it. The Doodle also has a "G+ Share" prompt which lets you post it to your Google+ account. If you don't have an account, then Google, which is eager to expand its social network of 40 million plus, will let you create one as well. A "Link" prompt also lets you share it the old-fashioned way wherever you want.

The Doodle is a change from last year's Thanksgiving tribute, which went up on Thanksgiving day and was composed of turkey, cranberries and other dishes spelling out Google's name.
